Description

Explore the deep connections between language, the mind, and human understanding with Ascent of Babel by psycholinguist Gerry Altmann. Published by Oxford University Press, this work offers a fascinating look at how our brains use language to connect with one another. Altmann examines the fundamental processes of how the mind produces and interprets speech, looking at how specific sounds evoke meaning and how our innate desire to communicate drives us to speak. This book takes readers on a journey that begins even before birth. You will learn how a fetus in its last trimester is already listening to the language of its parents and how language development continues in the days following birth. By studying the mechanics of the brain and the evolution of communication, this text provides a clear view of the biological and psychological foundations of how we understand each other. It is an essential read for anyone interested in cognitive psychology and the science of human connection.
